Sitting Pretty
Despite the fact that I'm a complete chicken, I got on Morrissey bareback today. We didn't move and it was in the barn, but hey slow and steady wins the race.
LOL - I've done that! The few times I've ridden Doc bareback my balance seems so precarious. His fat pads shift left and right and carry me with them! Pippin is squirrely enough when I'm on him with a saddle. He would probably flip out if he could feel me 'all over' him!
I went with bareback because her saddle rolls so bad. Nothing creeps me out more than feeling that saddle start to go all sideways. If only she had withers!
